In 1867 the then British government laid a railway line from Darshana to Jagati, and it was improved in stages afterwards. By rail from Poradaha one can travel to Rajshahi, Dhaka, Rajbari, Khulna and other places. In 1897 the Darshana-Poradaha section was upgraded from single line to double line. Stage by stage, the Poradaha-Bheramara section was upgraded to double line in 1909, Bheramara-Ishwardi in 1915, and Ishwardi-Abdulpur in 1932.
Bangladesh Railway is the state-owned rail transport agency of Bangladesh. Its headquarters is located in Dhaka. In 1990 the agency began operating under the newly established Ministry of Railways.
The Eastern Bengal Railway Company opened the broad-gauge (5 feet 6 inches) railway section from Kolkata to Ranaghat on 29 September 1862, and the section from Ranaghat via Darshana to Kushtia on 15 November 1862. The section up to Goalanda was opened on 1 January 1871. Between 1874 and 1879, to cope with famine, the Northern Bengal State Railway opened the section from Sara to Siliguri in metre gauge (3 feet 3.38 inches). The metre-gauge sections from Parbatipur to Dinajpur and from Parbatipur to Kaunia were also opened by this company. On 1 July 1884 the Eastern Bengal Railway came under government management, and on 1 April 1887 it was merged with the Northern Bengal State Railway.
More than 40 trains pass through this junction every day. Yet because of the antiquated rail line, passengers keep falling into hardship from time to time.
In the view of conscious citizens, because of the railway authority's mismanagement this sector cannot reach its desired goals.
The railway authority says the process of overhauling the many-year-old system has begun very soon.
